预报
预报 in 30 Sekunden
- A formal term for forecasting weather, economic trends, or natural disasters based on data.
- Commonly used as a noun (forecast) or a verb (to forecast) in official contexts.
- Essential for HSK B1 listening sections involving planning and daily life changes.
- Distinct from '预测' (general prediction) and '预告' (event preview/trailer).
The term 预报 (yùbào) is a fundamental Chinese verb and noun that translates most directly to 'forecast' or 'predict' in English. It is composed of two distinct characters: 预 (yù), meaning 'in advance' or 'beforehand,' and 报 (bào), meaning 'to report' or 'to announce.' When synthesized, the word describes the systematic process of announcing information about an event before it actually occurs, based on scientific data, observation, or logical inference.
- Core Concept
- The proactive dissemination of information regarding future states, typically applied to natural phenomena or economic trends.
根据天气预报,明天会下大雨。(According to the weather forecast, it will rain heavily tomorrow.)
In daily life, you will encounter this word most frequently in the context of meteorology. The phrase 天气预报 (tiānqì yùbào) is a household term across the Chinese-speaking world. However, its utility extends beyond the weather. It is used in seismic studies (地震预报 dìzhèn yùbào - earthquake prediction) and financial sectors (经济预报 jīngjì yùbào - economic forecasting). Unlike a simple guess, a 预报 implies a level of professional or scientific backing.
- Grammatical Function
- It functions as both a verb ('to forecast') and a noun ('a forecast'). As a verb, it often takes a specific phenomenon as its object.
气象台预报了台风的路径。(The meteorological station forecasted the path of the typhoon.)
Understanding the nuance of 预报 requires distinguishing it from 'prediction' (预测). While 预测 is a broader term for any kind of estimation of the future, 预报 carries a more formal, public-facing connotation. It is an official statement meant to inform a general audience so they can prepare. This is why it is the standard term for news broadcasts and official alerts.
- Social Context
- In China, checking the '预报' is a daily ritual for many, especially those in agriculture or logistics, where timing is critical.
我们需要准确的灾害预报来减少损失。(We need accurate disaster forecasts to reduce losses.)
电台正在预报晚间新闻。(The radio station is announcing/forecasting the evening news [schedule].)
市场预报显示房价将保持稳定。(Market forecasts show that housing prices will remain stable.)
Using 预报 correctly involves understanding its role as a formal communicative act. It is rarely used for personal hunches (like 'I forecast I'll be hungry soon'); instead, it is reserved for data-driven or institutional announcements. The most common structure is [Subject] + 预报 + [Event/Condition].
- Verb Usage
- When used as a verb, it describes the act of issuing the forecast. The subject is usually an authority or a medium.
电视上正在预报明天的气温。(The TV is forecasting tomorrow's temperature.)
As a noun, 预报 often follows adjectives like 准确 (zhǔnquè - accurate), 及时 (jíshí - timely), or 错误 (cuòwù - mistaken). It can also be part of a compound noun. For example, 天气预报员 (tiānqì yùbàoyuán) is a weather forecaster.
- Common Collocations
- 1. 发布预报 (fābù - to issue a forecast)
2. 听预报 (tīng - to listen to the forecast)
3. 播送预报 (bōsòng - to broadcast a forecast)
专家预报今年会有旱灾。(Experts forecast that there will be a drought this year.)
In business contexts, 预报 is used for sales projections or financial outlooks. A 'sales forecast' is 销售预报 (xiāoshòu yùbào). This usage is more formal than 'estimation' and implies that the figures are based on current market trends and data analysis.
- Sentence Patterns
- [Time] + 的 + [Type] + 预报 + [Result]. For example: '明天的天气预报是晴天' (Tomorrow's weather forecast is sunny.)
你看了最新的天气预报吗?(Have you seen the latest weather forecast?)
气象部门提前预报了寒潮的到来。(The meteorological department forecasted the arrival of the cold wave in advance.)
这次经济预报非常乐观。(This economic forecast is very optimistic.)
The word 预报 is ubiquitous in Chinese media. If you turn on a Chinese television station at 7:30 PM, you will almost certainly hear the theme music for the national weather forecast. It is a staple of public service broadcasting. In this environment, the word is used to bridge the gap between scientific observation and public safety.
- Media & News
- News anchors use it to introduce segments on upcoming events, especially environmental or economic changes.
现在播送天气预报。(Now broadcasting the weather forecast.)
In the digital age, smartphone apps are the primary source of 预报. Whether it is a dedicated weather app or a financial news aggregator, the term is used in notifications. You might see a push notification saying '暴雨预报' (Heavy rain forecast) or '股市预报' (Stock market forecast). In these contexts, the word serves as a signal for the user to take immediate notice or action.
- Public Spaces
- Announcements in train stations or airports often use '预报' to inform passengers about expected delays or weather-related schedule changes.
车站预报列车将晚点三十分钟。(The station forecasts that the train will be thirty minutes late.)
Academic and professional seminars also utilize this term. A researcher might present a '模型预报' (model forecast) to show the projected outcome of an experiment or a social trend. Here, the word takes on a more technical tone, implying the use of algorithms and historical data.
- Everyday Conversation
- Friends might ask each other, '你看了预报吗?' when planning a hike or an outdoor wedding.
收音机里的预报说今天有雾。(The forecast on the radio said it would be foggy today.)
手机上的天气预报通常很准。(The weather forecast on the phone is usually very accurate.)
大屏幕上滚动着气象预报。(The weather forecast is scrolling on the big screen.)
While 预报 is a common word, learners often confuse it with other 'pre-' (预) words. The most frequent error is substituting it for 预测 (yùcè) or 预告 (yùgào). Understanding the specific boundaries of each word is key to sounding natural in Chinese.
- 预报 vs. 预测
- '预测' (Predict/Estimate) is more analytical and can be used for anything (e.g., predicting who will win a game). '预报' is specifically for reporting a future event to the public, like weather or news.
✘ 预报比赛结果 (Forecast the game result)
✔ 预测比赛结果 (Predict the game result)
Another common mistake is using 预报 when you mean 预告 (yùgào). '预告' is a 'preview' or 'announcement' of an upcoming event, like a movie trailer or a meeting notice. If you say '电影预报,' a Chinese speaker will understand you, but '电影预告' (Movie trailer/preview) is the correct term.
- Collocation Errors
- Learners sometimes use '说' (say) instead of '播送' (broadcast) or '发布' (issue). While '预报说' is common in spoken Chinese, in writing, you should use more formal verbs.
✘ 预报告诉我们要下雨。(The forecast told us it would rain.)
✔ 预报显示明天有雨。(The forecast shows there will be rain tomorrow.)
Finally, avoid using 预报 for personal intentions. You cannot '预报' that you will go to the gym tomorrow. For personal plans, use 打算 (dǎsuàn) or 计划 (jìhuà). 预报 implies a certain level of objective data or institutional authority behind the statement.
- Contextual Mismatch
- Don't use '预报' for historical accounts. It is strictly forward-looking. For looking back, use '回顾' (huígù).
天气预报不总是百分之百准确。(Weather forecasts are not always 100% accurate.)
不要把天气预报当成绝对的真理。(Don't take the weather forecast as absolute truth.)
他错误地预报了市场的走向。(He incorrectly forecasted the market trend.)
To master 预报, you must be able to distinguish it from its close relatives. Chinese has several words that involve 'looking ahead,' each with a specific flavor and context. Let's compare 预报 with 预测, 预告, and 预言.
- 预报 vs. 预测 (yùcè)
- 预报: Formal, institutional, and often periodic (like daily weather). Focuses on the 'report' aspect.
预测: Analytical, scientific, and broad. Can be used for sports, politics, or science. Focuses on the 'calculation' (测) aspect.
科学家预测全球气温将升高,而气象台预报明天有雨。(Scientists predict global temperatures will rise, while the weather station forecasts rain tomorrow.)
Next is 预告 (yùgào). While 预报 deals with natural or economic phenomena, 预告 deals with human-scheduled events. Think of '预告' as a 'heads-up' or a 'preview.' If a TV show is coming up, you see a 预告. If the weather is changing, you hear a 预报.
- 预报 vs. 预言 (yùyán)
- 预言: To prophesy or make a long-term prediction, often without scientific basis. Think of Nostradamus or ancient myths.
预报: Short-term and data-driven.
这不只是一个预报,这是一个古老的预言。(This isn't just a forecast; it's an ancient prophecy.)
Finally, consider 预示 (yùshì). This means 'to portend' or 'to foreshadow.' It is used when a current sign suggests a future outcome. For example, 'Dark clouds portend rain' (乌云预示着下雨). This is more literary and descriptive than the formal '预报'.

- 预测: Data Analysis/Estimation
- 预告: Event Announcement/Trailer
- 预言: Prophecy/Long-term
我们不能只依赖预报,还要学会观察。(We can't just rely on forecasts; we must also learn to observe.)
气象台的预报比他的预测更可靠。(The weather station's forecast is more reliable than his prediction.)
节目预告之后就是天气预报。(After the program preview is the weather forecast.)
